| rdfs:comment | - Function The endocrine system is an information signal system much like the nervous system. However, the nervous system uses nerves to conduct information, whereas the endocrine system mainly uses blood vessels as information channels. Glands located in many regions of the body, for example the testis, release into the bloodstream specific chemical messengers called hormones. Hormones regulate many functions of an organism, including mood, growth and development, tissue function, and metabolism.
- Endocrine System is a set of glands (secreting hormones directly into blood) working together to coordinate body functions.
- The endocrine system was a control system of glands that secrete hormones which circulate within the body via the circulatory system to affect cells within certain organs of the body. The study of the endocrine system was known as endocrinology. (TOS: "The Deadly Years" ) Pa'nar Syndrome affected the endocrine and immune systems as well as causing degradation of the synaptic pathways. (ENT: "Stigma") In 2371, Doctor Julian Bashir reported that Zek's endocrine system was in "terrific shape" after Quark had him perform a medical examination on the Grand Nagus. (DS9: "Prophet Motive")
- The endocrine system is an integrated system of small organs that involve the release of extracellular signaling molecules known as hormones. It is the second communication system within the body, the first is the nervous system. The endocrine system is instrumental in regulating metabolism, growth, development and puberty, tissue function, and also plays a part in determining mood. The field of medicine that deals with disorders of endocrine glands is endocrinology, a branch of the wider field of internal medicine. Glands:

| abstract | - The endocrine system is an integrated system of small organs that involve the release of extracellular signaling molecules known as hormones. It is the second communication system within the body, the first is the nervous system. The endocrine system is instrumental in regulating metabolism, growth, development and puberty, tissue function, and also plays a part in determining mood. The field of medicine that deals with disorders of endocrine glands is endocrinology, a branch of the wider field of internal medicine. The main difference between the endocrine system and the nervous system is speed. Nervous system acts in miliseconds and endocrine acts in seconds to minutes. But endocrine messages last longer.

(ENT: "Stigma") One of Doctor Phlox's reasons for staying aboard Enterprise NX-01 after the ship's maiden voyage in 2151 was that he was fascinated with the Human endocrine system, according to Captain Jonathan Archer. (ENT: "Broken Bow") Doctor Christine Chapel pointed out the android Ilia's internal functions were patterned almost identically to the exocrine (and, therefore, endocrine) systems of her parent carbon-based lifeform. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture) In 2371, Doctor Julian Bashir reported that Zek's endocrine system was in "terrific shape" after Quark had him perform a medical examination on the Grand Nagus.
